Ohlalà French Film Festival 2024
to
Institut Français Carrer Moià 8, 08006 Barcelona
This year welcomes the sixth edition of Ohlalà!, the first film festival in Barcelona dedicated to French language films from around the world. In addition to selecting a special guest from the world of cinema to highlight, the festival also brings to Barcelona directors of some of the films programed to present their films in person.
The festival features over a dozen feature-length films divided into two sections: the official section of unreleased films that will premiere at the festival, and a retrospective dedicated to a specific French-speaking director. The films come from countries that make up the Francophone world, including France, Belgium, Switzerland, Maghreb, parts of Africa, Quebec and beyond.
2024 Program
The festival opens with Emmanuel Courcol's En fanfare (France, 2024) a humorous feel-good film in which city meets country and high culture meets folk culture—and a declaration of love to the unifying power of music. Other titles include Dissidente, Pier-Philippe Chevigny (Canada, 2023), Madame Hofmann, Sébastien Lifshitz (France, 2023), L’histoire de Souleymane, Boris Lojkine (France, 2024) and Chien de la casse, Jean-Baptiste Durand (France, 2023).
The guest of honor of the 2024 edition is actress, director and screenwriter Nicole Garcia, a figure who has gone from collaborating with great masters such as Resnais, Tavernier, De Broca, Sautet and Deville to becoming a prominent director. After nine feature films, Garcia a body of work that has never lost its beautiful coherence. Her stories put the characters in the foreground, confronting them with moments of crisis and crucial decisions that will mark the course of their lives. The festival features three of her most significant works: L’Adversaire (2002), based on the novel of the same name by Emmanuel Carrère; Mal de pierres (2016), which explores the complexities of love and sacrifice; and Place Vendôme (1998), a crime film full of intrigue starring Catherine Deneuve.
